C14 (1/2)

This time, due to the fact that Xia Xiaochan was the one who taught her and also because of her rebirth, she wrote down a copy of the recipe. Since Xia Xiaochan was the one who taught her, and because she was the one who reborn, she wrote down a copy of the recipe.

Xia Xiaochan's heart bloomed with a smile as she carried the 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver in this dynasty was a huge sum of money. In the town, he could even buy two large houses with a front.

However, Xia Xiaochan did not plan to buy a house in the town, after half a year, the town would become chaotic, and the chaotic times would also become chaotic because of the influx of refugees. In that era of famine, because of the land, people in the countryside could find food everywhere and easily starve to death.

Xia Xiaochan planned to rely on a sum of money to buy more food and store more food before the Year of Calamity arrived. After all, the Year of Calamity would last for two years.

Of course, the reason why she was in such a hurry to get money was not only due to the calamity, but also because of her poor older sister Xiaohong who once protected her from the shadows.

If she hadn't hurried to save Xia Xiaohong, she was afraid that, just like in her previous life, Xia Xiaohong would have been tortured to death by that man.

Thinking about Xia Xiaohong, Xia Xiaochan's heart felt a little heavy. Her always beautiful, gentle, and considerate sister, the sister who never let her do anything dirty at home, had never been happy for a day in her previous life.

Xia Xiaochan exchanged the 100 taels of silver from the shopkeeper for a few small notes and left only 15 taels of crushed silver for Little Fool to carry. Then, she walked towards the poplar ditch with her.

It was too far from the town to the Yang Tree Hook. Xia Xiaochan and Little Fool walked with large strides and arrived at the Yang Tree Ditch just before the sky was about to turn dark.

Most of the land around the Yang Tree Ditch was barren. Because the land was barren, most of the crops that were planted didn't grow. Most of the people living here had been starving for a long time and simply couldn't eat.

There were several thatched huts on this gray, dying land. These huts were short and small, and when the wind blew it would leak out. When it snowed in winter, not to mention how cold it was, even now, on a cold, windy night, it would be hard to live in them.

Xia Xiaochan looked at the few dilapidated houses and was about to inquire about them when, at that moment, miserable wails suddenly rang out from one of the houses.

”Wuwuwu. Don't hit me, don't hit me, wuwu …”

Xia Xiaochan followed the sound and saw a skinny girl in a straw hut with a broken door not far away. The girl was so thin that her body was like a bamboo pole, and her face was only covered with skin and bones, and her hair was messy. On a cold day, she was wearing a simple shirt, which had countless holes sewn into it.

Xia Xiaochan was worried as soon as she saw someone getting beaten up. When she looked over, she was in a daze because the little girl was too miserable and her hair was messy. She couldn't tell if it was Sister Xiaohong or not.

At the same time, the man chasing after her also came out. He was also skinny, and wore patched up clothes. Of course, even though they were patched up, his clothes were still countless times better than the girl being chased after.

The moment Xia Xiaochan saw this man, her heart ached. Wasn't this ugly and ferocious man the one who bought Sister Xiaohong, and who was Bachelor Cui?
